The new Dragon Ball Super: Beerus "SUPER GEKITOU" trailer made its debut during the Dragon Ball Games Battle Hour 2026 in Los Angeles. This highly anticipated project marks Dragon Ball Super: Beerus as an enhanced edition of the beloved Dragon Ball Super anime, with a scheduled premiere in Fall 2026 in Japan. Fans got an exciting first look at refreshed visuals, intense action sequences, and updated animation that promise to elevate the classic storyline to new heights. The trailer features intense clashes with Beerus and a surprise Frieza tease.
The original Dragon Ball Super anime aired from 2015 to 2018 across 131 episodes, produced by Toei Animation. Alongside the Beerus reveal earlier this year at the Dragon Ball Genkidamatsuri event, organizers also announced the upcoming Dragon Ball Super: The Galactic Patrol anime, signaling a fresh wave of content for the long-running franchise. The SUPER GEKITOU trailer highlights dynamic new footage, showcasing high-stakes battles and character moments with improved production quality that aligns with modern anime standards while honoring the series' roots.
Here's Crunchyroll's description of the original Dragon Ball Super series:
With Majin Buu defeated, Goku has taken a completely new role as...a radish farmer?! With Earth at peace, our heroes have settled into normal lives. But they can’t get too comfortable. Far away, the powerful God of Destruction, Beerus, awakens to a prophecy revealing his demise at the hands of an even more formidable being. When his search for the Saiyan God brings him to Earth, can Goku and his friends take on their strongest foe yet?
The trailer teases epic confrontations between Goku, Vegeta, and the formidable Beerus, complete with signature energy blasts, transformations, and the trademark humor that has defined the franchise for decades. According to details shared at the event, the enhanced edition aims to deliver smoother animation, updated sound design, and possibly some new or expanded scenes that will appeal to both longtime viewers and newcomers discovering the series for the first time.
The Dragon Ball Super: Beerus project continues the legacy established by creator Akira Toriyama, whose original work, story, and character designs form the foundation of this revival. By presenting the series as an "enhanced" version, the production team seeks to bridge the gap between the 2010s-era animation and current expectations for fluid fight choreography and vibrant visuals. Attendees at the Dragon Ball Games Battle Hour 2026 reacted with enthusiasm to the trailer's high-energy montages, which include glimpses of Super Saiyan forms, planetary-scale destruction, and the playful yet menacing personality of Beerus himself.
Streaming details for Dragon Ball Super include availability on Crunchyroll, where viewers can access both the original series and related movies with subtitles and English dubbed options, depending on the region. Crunchyroll serves as a primary platform for legal streaming of the franchise's content, offering simulcast opportunities for new episodes in select territories and extensive libraries of past seasons.
